Suppose that France and Italy both produce wine and cheese. France's opportunity cost of producing a case of cheese is 5 barrels of wine, while Italy's opportunity cost of producing a case of cheese is 10 barrels of wine. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that comparative advantage in the production of cheese and has a comparative advantage in the production of wine. Suppose that France and Italy consider trading cheese and wine. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of wine for each case of cheese it exports to Italy. Similarly, Italy can gain from trade as long as it receives of cheese for each barrel of wine it exports to France. more than Based on your answer to the last question, a price ratio between benefit both countries. has a barrels of wine per case of cheese will
The theory of comparative advantage: O a. Claims that economic well-being is enhanced if each country's citizens produce only a single product. Ob. Claims that economic well-being is enhanced when all countries compare commodity prices after adjusting for exchange rate differences in order to standardize the prices charged by all countries. O. Claims that economic well-being is enhanced if each country's citizens produce that which they have a comparative advantage in producing relative to the citizens of other countries, and then trade production. O d. Claims that no country has an absolute advantage over another country in the production of any good or service.
What is the trade balance between the U.S. and China from 2018 to 2020?Graph the year and trade balance (exports – imports) using year for horizontal axis and trade balance for vertical axis. What is the difference between absolute advantage and comparative advantage? Which among these 2 concepts is the basis of trade? Suppose that an American worker can produce 1000 shirts or 200 computers, while a Chinese worker can produce 1000 shirts or 100 computers.In the US, what is the opportunity cost of producing an additional shirt (measured in terms of foregone computers)?
5. The price of trade Suppose that Italy and Switzerland both produce jeans and stained glass. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 3 pairs of jeans while Switzeriand's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 9 pairs of jeans. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing stained glass in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. Suppose that Italy and Switzerland consider trading stained glass and jeans with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of jeans for each pane of stained glass it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long of stained glass for each pair of jeans it exports to Italy. as it recelves more than Based on your answer to the last question, which of the tollowing prices of trade (that is, price of stained glass in terms of…
I don't understand the second part of this homework. If Frankie and Johnny completely specialize according to comparative advantage, what will happen to the amount of eggs and milk? I have the opportunity cost calculated to understand who should do what in this case. But what will I do to that number?
Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Dolorium. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce rye, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of rye or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Rye Jeans Country (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 12 24 Dolorium 8 32 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 12 million bushels of rye and 72 million pairs of jeans, and Dolorium produces 24 million bushels of rye and 32 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of rye and jeans it produces. v of…
